In this episode, Jessie and Angela focus on setting realistic goals for balance. The discussion emphasizes the importance of setting goals that are not only ambitious but also achievable and relevant to individual circumstances. They introduce their "Balance Journal," which is designed to aid in setting balanced goals. The journal incorporates what they call the "5 P's of Balance": Prioritize, Plan, Protect, Persist, and Ponder. Each P represents a step in the goal-setting process:


1. Prioritize: Identifying what's most important and aligning goals with these priorities.

2. Plan: Breaking goals into manageable steps and considering potential obstacles.

3. Protect: Preparing for and addressing potential obstacles to goals.

4. Persist: Staying committed to goals even when challenges arise.

5. Ponder: Reflecting on progress and adjusting goals as needed.


They stress the importance of setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound) and discuss strategies for maintaining motivation and accountability. The conversation also touches on the importance of enjoying the journey towards achieving these goals and not just focusing on the end results. The Balance Journal, available for free on their website, is designed to guide individuals through this process.
